Buckhead mall updating its look in anticipation of new retailers in 2013.

Lenox Square Mall is amidst a multi-phase renovation project to its interior and exterior. Simon Property Group,
the mall’s developer, submitted a building permit application Tuesday
to City of Atlanta to renovate the Buckhead mall’s “north facade.”
Once complete, the north facade will feature a two-story glass
storefront with a redesigned porte-cochere and enhanced valet services,
costing an estimated $10,265,395.
In December 2011, Simon spent more than $600,000 to demolish Lenox’s existing north facade.
“This renovation will be attractive to both current and prospective
tenants and we’re already working on lease commitments with new
specialty stores and restaurants in conjunction with the renovation
plans,” John Phipps, Senior Vice President of Development for Simon
Property Group, said in a press release.
“Our objective is to maintain Lenox Square and nearby Phipps Plaza as
the epicenter of the best retail in the southeastern United States.”The mall’s second phase of renovations will include a number of new
enhancements and amenities to Lenox’s interior, including a
fully-renovated Dining Pavilion with new dining options, new ceiling
treatments to increase natural light and expanded seating including an
outdoor patio.The mall’s Atrium Court will also receive a new look.

$3-$4 each, and BBQ is $5-$10 depending on what you want. It’s
affordable for everyone!Q:Are chairs allowed?A: Sure they are! But, if you want to bring a chair, you’re going to need to get there early to find a spot for it.Q:Do you accept credit cards?A: Unfortunately, we do not. So, stock up on cash, and come have a day of fun in the sun!

A DeKalb County judge denied on Tuesday Selig Enterprises' motion to intervene in a lawsuit seeking to prevent construction of a Walmart Supercenter in North Decatur, Good Growth DeKalb said.

"This means that Suburban Plaza, owned by Selig, cannot make arguments at the hearing on Friday, August 9, and means Selig’s Motion to Dismiss the case is moot," the group wrote on its Facebook page. "But we still have to contend with the county’s Motion to Dismiss so please come out to the rally and hearing on Friday."more

The Court House looks so much better without that bandstand built in the middle of the front steps. Why would they block the front view. Why don't they move it to the left about 100 feet over in the grass area.
